Ricciardo: We can win again before break

19 June 2014 – Daniel Ricciardo believes Red Bull Racing should be able to win again before Formula 1's summer hiatus.

Ricciardo took his maiden win at the pinnacle of the sport in Canada earlier this month, with the Australian and the Milton Keynes-based outfit making the most of the reliability problems that hit the dominant Mercedes' of Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton.

Looking ahead now to the next few four races in Austria, Britain, Germany and Hungary, he said Silverstone would probably be their best chance of taking another victory, adding that the race at the Red Bull Ring this weekend will be 'interesting'.

"Austria could be interesting and Silverstone has traditionally been a good one for Red Bull so there are a few races in the immediate future which could perhaps help us out.

"Aerodynamically, we are strong and I think Silverstone could be the one where we might challenge," he confirmed.

Meanwhile, it is clear he cannot wait to race in Red Bull's backyard: "It's great to be going to Red Bull's home race after an awesome weekend in Canada," he continued. "I've only driven the Red Bull Ring on filming days, essentially a handful of laps without the out-and-out aggression that you'll see at the Austrian Grand Prix weekend. It's a tidy circuit, not the longest and not many corners, but what is there is good.

"It sounds as though there will be a massive crowd up in the mountains and I'm sure the return of the Austrian Grand Prix will get off to a really good start."
